Well yeah. Because fraud is the victims fault and they have to fix it. At least in the view of our current laws.
If someone impersonates me, and uses my 'super secret' information to get a new credit card in my name, (like birthdate, DL number, or the number I have to put on any credit application, employment, etc) its now MY responsibility to correct my credit reports, contact people sending me to collections, file police reports, etc.
My state (OR) just this week lost drivers license info on every license in the state to to a hack on the MoveIT zero day. They recommend you check your credit reports for suspicious activity.
They just shoved responsibility for the mess of all our drivers licenses onto 3.5M of us to fix...

(This was by far the most satisfying court decision I've read for years.)
